Emma Watson, since hanging up her robes in Hogwarts, has tried branching out past being just being seen as Hermoine Granger for the rest of her career, and she may very well accomplish that with her new daring role in next year's Regression.
According to the New York Daily News, via The Sun, the Harry Potter alum goes topless in her new movie. But it will not be a sexy scene, mind you, as the upcoming drama centers on a father, played by Ethan Hawke, arrested for sexually abusing his daughter, whom Watson plays.
Regression already began screening for test audiences in the United States. One audience member, before deleting his comments, called Watson's nude scene "useless and ineffective" on IMDb. Another said you "can see her breasts but they are partially obscured."
As this is not the finished version, there's no certainly this sequence makes it into the final film. Many times, scenes like these in these cuts ultimately are left on the cutting room floor before screened for a wide audience. The drama hits theaters on August 28, 2015 in both the U.S. and the UK.
Watson, last seen in Noah earlier this year, also stars in Colonia Dignidad next year in addition to Regression. She will soon film a role in Damien Chazelle's (Whiplash) upcoming movie La La Land, alongside co-star Miles Teller.
